Números 31
1 Yavé habló a Moisés:
Then the Lord said to Moses,
2 Toma venganza completa de los hijos de Israel contra los madianitas. Después serás reunido a tu pueblo.
Give the Midianites punishment for the wrong they did to the children of Israel: and after that you will go to rest with your people.
3 Entonces Moisés habló al pueblo: Armen a algunos hombres de entre ustedes para la guerra, y vayan contra Madián para ejecutar la venganza de Yavé contra Madián.
So Moses said to the people, Let men from among you be armed for war to put into effect against Midian the Lord's punishment on them.
4 Enviarán a la guerra 1.000 de cada tribu, de todas las tribus de los hijos de Israel.
From every tribe of Israel send a thousand to the war.
5 Así fueron dados de los millares de Israel 1.000 de cada tribu, 12.000 en pie de guerra.
So from the thousands of Israel a thousand were taken from every tribe, twelve thousand men armed for war.
6 Moisés los envió a la guerra, 1.000 de cada tribu. Finees, hijo del sacerdote Eleazar, fue con ellos, con los objetos sagrados y con las trompetas en su mano para la alarma.
And Moses sent them out to war, a thousand from every tribe, and with them Phinehas, the son of Eleazar the priest, taking in his hands the vessels of the holy place and the horns for sounding the note of war.
7 Como Yavé ordenó a Moisés, hicieron guerra contra Madián y mataron a todos los varones.
And they made war on Midian, as the Lord gave orders to Moses; and they put to death every male.
8 Entre el resto de los muertos, mataron también a los reyes de Madián: Evi, Requem, Zur, Hur y Reba, cinco reyes de Madián. También mataron a espada a Balaam, hijo de Beor.
They put the kings of Midian to death with the rest, Evi and Reken and Zur and Hur and Reba, the five kings of Midian: and Balaam, the son of Beor, they put to death with the sword.
9 Los hijos de Israel tomaron cautivas a las mujeres de los madianitas, a sus pequeños, todo su ganado y todos sus rebaños. Arrebataron toda su riqueza.
The women of Midian with their little ones the children of Israel took prisoner; and all their cattle and flocks and all their goods they took for themselves;
10 Incendiaron también todas sus ciudades, aldeas y campamentos.
And after burning all their towns and all their tent-circles,
11 Tomaron todo el despojo y todo el botín, tanto de personas como de animales.
They went away with the goods they had taken, man and beast.
12 Llevaron a los cautivos, el botín y el despojo a Moisés, al sacerdote Eleazar y a la congregación de los hijos de Israel, al campamento en las llanuras de Moab que están junto al Jordán, frente a Jericó.
And the prisoners and the goods and everything they had taken, they took to Moses and Eleazar the priest and the people of Israel, to the tent-circle in the lowlands of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.
13 Entonces Moisés, el sacerdote Eleazar y todos los jefes de la congregación salieron a recibirlos en las afueras del campamento.
Then Moses and Eleazar the priest and the chiefs of the people went out to them before they had come into the tent-circle.
14 Moisés se enojó contra los oficiales del ejército, los jefes de miles y jefes de cientos que regresaron del servicio en la guerra.
And Moses was angry with the chiefs of the army, the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds who had come back from the war.
15 Moisés les preguntó: ¿Dejaron con vida a todas las mujeres?
And Moses said to them, Why have you kept all the women safe?
16 ¡Miren! Ellas fueron las que, por consejo de Balaam, indujeron a los hijos de Israel a apostatar de Yavé en el asunto de Peor, por lo cual hubo mortandad en la congregación de Yavé.
It was these who, moved by Balaam, were the cause of Israel's sin against the Lord in the question of Peor, because of which disease came on the people of the Lord.
17 Ahora, pues, maten a todos los varones entre los niños de ellas y maten a toda mujer que tuvo contacto carnal con varón.
So now put every male child to death, and every woman who has had sex relations with a man.
18 Pero dejen con vida a todas las jóvenes que no tuvieron contacto carnal con varón.
But all the female children who have had no sex relations with men, you may keep for yourselves.
19 En cuanto a ustedes, permanezcan fuera del campamento durante siete días. Todos los que mataron a una persona, y los que tocaron un cadáver, se purificarán en el tercero y el séptimo día, tanto ustedes como sus prisioneros.
You yourselves will have to keep outside the tent-circle for seven days, anyone of you who has put any person to death or come near a dead body; and on the third day and on the seventh day make yourselves and your prisoners clean.
20 Purifiquen también toda ropa, todo objeto de piel, toda obra de pelo de cabra y todo utensilio de madera.
And every bit of clothing, and anything made of leather or goats' hair or wood, you are to make clean.
21 El sacerdote Eleazar dijo a los hombres del ejército que llegaron de la guerra: Este es el estatuto de la Ley que Yavé mandó a Moisés:
Then Eleazar the priest said to the men of war who had been to the fight, This is the rule of the law which the Lord has given to Moses:
22 Solo el oro, la plata, el bronce, el hierro, el estaño y el plomo,
But gold and silver and brass and iron and tin and lead,
23 todo lo que resiste el fuego, lo harán pasar por fuego y será puro. Sin embargo será purificado con las aguas para limpiar la impureza. Todo lo que no resista el fuego, lo harán pasar por el agua.
And anything which may be heated, is to go through the fire and be made clean; but in addition it is to be put in the water of cleaning: and anything which may not go through the fire is to be put in the water.
24 El día séptimo lavarán sus ropas y quedarán puros. Después podrán entrar en el campamento.
And on the seventh day, after washing your clothing, you will be clean, and then you may come into the tent-circle.
25 También Yavé habló a Moisés:
And the Lord said to Moses,
26 Tú, el sacerdote Eleazar y los jefes de las casas paternas de la congregación hagan el recuento del botín que se capturó, tanto de personas como de animales.
Get an account of everything which was taken in the war, of man and of beast, you and Eleazar the priest and the heads of families of the people:
27 Dividirás por mitad el botín entre los combatientes que fueron a la guerra y toda la congregación.
And let division be made of it into two parts, one for the men of war who went out to the fight, and one for all the people:
28 Como tributo de los guerreros que salieron a la batalla, toma tú un tributo para Yavé, que será de uno por cada 500, tanto de las personas como del ganado vacuno, los asnos, y las ovejas.
And from the men of war who went out let there be offered to the Lord one out of every five hundred, from the persons, and from the oxen and asses and sheep:
29 Toma la mitad de ello y la darás al sacerdote Eleazar como ofrenda alzada para Yavé.
Take this from their part and give it to Eleazar the priest as an offering to be lifted up to the Lord.
30 Y de la mitad que corresponde a los hijos de Israel tomarás uno de cada 50, tanto de personas como del ganado vacuno, los asnos, las ovejas y todo animal, y los entregarás a los levitas encargados del servicio del Tabernáculo de Yavé.
And from the part given to the children of Israel, take one out of every fifty, from the persons, and from the oxen and asses and sheep, and give it to the Levites who have the care of the House of the Lord.
31 Moisés y el sacerdote Eleazar hicieron como Yavé ordenó a Moisés.
So Eleazar and Moses did as the Lord had given orders to Moses.
32 El resto del botín que quedó como despojo de los guerreros fue: 675.000 ovejas,
Now the beasts taken, in addition to what the fighting-men took for themselves, were six hundred and seventy-five thousand sheep,
33 72.000 cabezas de ganado vacuno,
And seventy-two thousand oxen,
34 y 71.000 asnos.
And sixty-one thousand asses;
35 En cuanto a personas, de mujeres que no tuvieron contacto carnal con varón, fueron en total 32.000.
And thirty-two thousand persons, that is, women who had never had sex relations with a man.
36 La mitad o porción de los que salieron a la guerra, fue: 336.500 ovejas,
And the half given as their part to the men who went to the war, was three hundred and thirty-seven thousand, five hundred sheep,
37 y el tributo de ovejas para Yavé fue de 675.
Of which the Lord's part was six hundred and seventy-five.
38 Ganado vacuno: 36.000, y su tributo para Yavé, 72.
The number of oxen was thirty-six thousand, of which the Lord's part was seventy-two;
39 Asnos: 30.500, y su tributo para Yavé, 61.
The number of asses was thirty thousand, five hundred, of which the Lord's part was sixty-one.
40 Personas: 16.000, y su tributo para Yavé, 32 personas.
And the number of persons was sixteen thousand, of which the Lord's part was thirty-two persons.
41 Entonces Moisés entregó el tributo al sacerdote Eleazar como ofrenda alzada a Yavé, como Yavé ordenó a Moisés.
And Moses gave the Lord's part, lifted up as an offering, to Eleazar the priest, as the Lord had given orders to Moses.
42 En cuanto a la mitad correspondiente a los hijos de Israel, que Moisés separó de la de los guerreros,
And from the half given to the children of Israel, which Moses had kept separate from that given to the fighting-men,
43 esa mitad de la congregación fue: 336.500 ovejas,
(Now the people's half was three hundred and thirty-seven thousand, five hundred sheep,
44 ganado vacuno: 36.000,
And thirty-six thousand oxen,
45 asnos: 30.500,
And thirty thousand, five hundred asses,
46 y personas: 16.000.
And sixteen thousand persons; )
47 De la mitad que correspondía a los hijos de Israel, Moisés tomó uno de cada 50, así de las personas como de los animales, y los entregó a los levitas que tenían la custodia del Tabernáculo de Yavé, como Yavé ordenó a Moisés.
Even from the children of Israel's half, Moses took one out of every fifty, men and beasts, and gave them to the Levites who had the care of the House of the Lord; as the Lord gave orders to Moses.
48 Entonces los jefes de las unidades del ejército, comandantes de miles y comandantes de cientos acudieron a Moisés,
Then the men in authority over the thousands of the army, the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, came to Moses,
49 y le dijeron: Tus esclavos contaron los hombres de combate que están bajo nuestro mando, y nadie de nosotros falta.
And said to him, Your servants have taken note of the number of all the fighting-men under our orders, and every one is present;
50 Así presentamos una ofrenda ante Yavé, cada uno lo que ganó en objetos de oro: brazaletes, pulseras, anillos, pendientes y collares, para hacer sacrificio que apacigua por nosotros delante de Yavé.
And we have here an offering for the Lord from what every man took in the war, ornaments of gold, leg-chains and arm-rings, finger-rings, ear-rings, and neck-ornaments, to make our souls free from sin before the Lord.
51 Moisés y el sacerdote Eleazar recibieron de ellos el oro y toda clase de objetos labrados.
So Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from them, even all the worked ornaments.
52 Todo el oro de la ofrenda alzada que los jefes de miles y los de cientos hicieron elevar ante Yavé, fue de 184 kilogramos
And the gold which the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds gave, as an offering to be lifted up before the Lord, came to sixteen thousand, seven hundred and fifty shekels.
53 que los hombres del ejército saquearon, cada uno para él.
(For every man of the army had taken goods for himself in the war.)
54 Moisés y el sacerdote Eleazar tomaron el oro de los jefes de miles y de los jefes de cientos, y lo llevaron al Tabernáculo de Reunión como memorial de los hijos de Israel delante de Yavé.
Then Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold given by the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, and took it into the Tent of meeting, to be a sign in memory of the children of Israel before the Lord.
